Description

Striking French D’Argental (ca. 1920-1925) multi-layer, acid-etched glass cameo vase by Paul Nicolas (1875-1952) decorated with fuschia in shades of brown and red on a satin ochre background. Signed d'Argental with the cross of Lorraine in the decoration. Ca. 18.5cm tall x 6.5cm dia (base), Weight 291g. Fitted box.

Superb original condition.

D'Argental vase were made by Paul Nicolas, who was Chief Designer at Gallé and later went on to make glass under his own name and for St Louis under the name D'Argental. D'Argental workmanship is consistently good and this vase is no exception, but D'Argental is not as well known as Gallé or Daum, so the prices are still quite reasonable.

Date of Manufacture

Antik Dragon Japanese & Other Fine Art has dated this French Cameo Glass Vase to the 1920s.

FAQs

French cameo glass is a form of art glass created by etching or carving through multiple layers of coloured glass to produce a raised design, reaching the height of its popularity during the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

These pieces are handcrafted using multi-layered silicate glass fused together while molten. Artisans then employ acid-etching, wheel-carving, or engraving techniques to reveal contrasting background and foreground colours.

Authentic pieces typically feature acid-stamped or wheel-engraved signatures of the maker or atelier on the body or base, precise multi-layered depth, and distinct weight consistent with early 20th-century glass manufacturing standards.

Place the vessel as a solo focal point on a mantelpiece, console, or within a glass-fronted cabinet to highlight its translucent qualities and intricate multi-toned relief work against neutral backgrounds.

Clean gently using a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive scrubbers, or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
